Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-ASF1 [ASF 4A1/3]
  • Clone: ASF 4A1/3
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human ; Mouse
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: WB
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: Anti-silencing function 1 (Asf1) belongs to the H3/H4 family of histone chaperones. Its function has not been fully elucidated but it is believed to be involved in ensuring a constant supply of histones at sites of nucleosome assembly. Asf1 interacts with the DNA damage checkpoint protein Rad53 and so may have a role in cell cycle regulation and DNA responses. ASF1 A and B (the two human subtypes) are the only known substrate for Tousled-like kinase (TLK). The Tousled kinases are themselves regulated by the checkpoint protein kinases involved in the DNA damage response.
